Chapter 320: Thoughts for the Future
In terms of temperature, Jiang Yan's little white slime can change from 0 °C close to freezing to 60 °C equivalent to ordinary hot water!
That's an incredible ability. Because as far as Jiang Yan knows, normal slimes are not only unable to do this, but because of the body composition of that semi-liquid form, they are actually very afraid of high temperatures and cold, whether it is fire or frost, the killing effect of slimes is very significant. Either the water is evaporated or the body is frozen!
This not only means that it will not be exposed by the enemy's heat detection when it hides its tracks in the mimicry, but it also means that the little guy's patience with flame attacks or frost attacks is basically no worse than that of ordinary elves!
Then there is the smell, Jiang Yan dares to be sure with his extremely sensitive sense of smell, this little guy himself is almost odorless, even if he encounters a canine phantom beast breed spirit with a sense of smell, the other party does not want to find out the stealth with the sense of smell. Not only that, the white slime can also absorb odorous pheromones from the outside world and decompose them together, and can also temporarily store pheromones in the body to keep them from being exposed, and then release this pheromone to confuse others when necessary.
In other words, just like what Jiang Yan did when he cleaned up his body just now, it was able to eliminate the traces of the smell of his companions as well!
Then, Jiang Yan had a whim, tried it again, and found that this little guy could even adjust his 'texture' to a certain extent, and the specific principle was to change the softness by manipulating the density in his body.
The range of variations, from pure liquid liquids to the hardness of ice like polar permafrost, can be adjusted on its own.
Combined with this ability, color change, odor simulation, and body temperature regulation, it is possible to reproduce the texture of various substances.
This kind of all-purpose camouflage ability must be liked by those who have been inaugurated as assassins.
However, Jiang Yan didn't be happy for long, and sighed again: 'It's a pity, the hard power is still too weak......
He had just tried it, wanting to make the little guy make the most of his mimicry ability, and turn into a camouflage suit with a camouflage invisibility effect to cover himself, and take himself invisible with him.
Unfortunately, it failed.
The reason is very simple, the little guy is more or less consumed when he activates the mimicry skill, and now its spiritual power is too weak, just mimicking itself to be perfectly invisible is okay, but it is not enough to complete the scale of mimicry that disguises Jiang Yan as invisible.
If the little guy could really do that level, Jiang Yan would not lose in the previous actual duel with No. 81.
With its body, which was only the size of a small leather ball, it would be very difficult to transform into a camouflage suit that covered Jiang Yan's whole body, and it was really difficult to achieve perfect mimicry.
And looking at the way the little guy took the initiative to contract with him, Jiang Yan originally thought that it was different from other elves and could accept his own spiritual power offerings, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.
Jiang Yan conveyed the spiritual power of the past through the contract connection, and this little guy accepted it all very happily, but he still couldn't absorb it.
In the end, he had no choice but to return this alien spiritual power to Jiang Yan.
'Well, forget it, let's try again in the future and see if we can contract a second elf.' It's just that in my case, almost no elves can see it, and basically can only use forced contracts, which makes it difficult to have a choice......
Raising his eyes and looking at the little white slime who seemed to be enjoying the unconscious kneading of his hands in his palm, and seemed to regard this behavior as the owner's affectionate gesture to him, Jiang Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
"If you really can't do it, you can only just get an elf egg to make a contract!"
Elves can be 'spirited' to merge with the elves, and then summoned to fight materially when necessary, naturally with some spirit qualities.
But they can also reproduce and give birth to something similar to an egg, which is called an 'elf egg'.
If you want to contract with the High Elves, it is a very secure way to get the eggs of those High Elves and take the opportunity to contract with them when they are not born and their resistance is at their weakest.
It's just that unless you take the risk of going to the wild to steal an egg nest guarded by a high elf, a good quality elf egg often requires a lot of financial resources to get it. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's little face turned bitter again.
Is Jiang Yan rich?
The answer is, penniless!
Even the lowest elf egg on the market is worth the income accumulated by a commoner family in the empire for several months, and it is about one gold coin.
And Jiang Yan can't even take out a copper plate on his body!
As an experimental subject cultivated by the research institute, Jiang Yan's food and clothing on weekdays are all provided by the research institute, and if there is no special permission, they are completely forbidden to communicate with the outside world on weekdays, and there is no way to talk about shopping or anything, so naturally they don't have any money with them.
"If it is a free body, as an extraordinary person who has mastered the magic of the elves, I can become a mercenary and earn money by earning commissions, but it's a pity that ......" Jiang Yan glanced at his chest that had been planted with an "imprint", and a touch of self-deprecation appeared on the corner of his mouth.
According to the arrangement of the institute, I can only join the army honestly...... Speaking of which, according to the merit system of the Imperial Army, even if I am an artificial soldier with an abnormal background, as long as I can make enough meritorious deeds, it should be no problem to exchange for a High Elf egg, ......right?
Shaking his head, Jiang Yan shook off these troubles, and now it was useless for him to be entangled all the time.
Jiang Yan glanced at the other injured contemporaneous test subjects in the ward, and saw that they still looked a little numb and gloomy even in their sleep, and couldn't help but shake their heads again.
Dr. Lux was right, Jiang Yan was different from other test subjects since he was a child, very intelligent, or so intelligent that he was not at all like an artificial test subject who was only eight or nine years old and had basically no contact with the outside world.
If other experimental subjects had encountered Jiang Yan's situation, they would have accepted their fate numbly, and they would still be actively thinking about the future like him.
But it is precisely because of this trait that Jiang Yan will be faintly monitored by the research institute, and even if he has just passed the summoning ceremony of the initial elf, and contracted the lowest-level slime with almost no threat as the initial elf, he is still planted with the mark of preventing betrayal, and enjoys the same treatment as those excellent test subjects who summon high elves.
There were distractions in his mind, thinking about something that he didn't have, and gradually, Jiang Yan felt a sense of exhaustion.
Children are already more prone to drowsiness, not to mention that this injured body still needs to recuperate.
‘...... Go to sleep. ’
Jiang Yan, whose consciousness was slowly sleeping, did not notice that the depths of his soul fluctuated inexplicably at this moment.
"...... 呲呲......』
In the deepest part of his soul, an extremely faint 'noise' that seemed to be an electronic signal echoed, but before it could be noticed by Jiang Yan, it returned to calm again.
